1) Is she wrong? How would you describe what's going on with Mnuchin, Barr, McGahn?

2) So what? He can stop being a baby and deal with it. Trump has whined about Pelosi numerous times. Bill Clinton didn't throw such hissy fits during the 90s.

Either move to impeach or work with him and try to beat him

Not both

Maybe you can explain it to me, because I don't see how it works in the slightest.

Mets is saying that Trump shouldn't be expected to work with the Democrats when they are trying to screw him over in the worst possible way.
The analogy seems to fit perfectly.
I don't agree with his assumptions as I think it's all theater--but under the assumptions that you both seem to share I don't see how it doesn't make clear sense.

And you guys had an exact conversation about it. It sounds like you might not agree with some of the premises too but the analogy from Mets' perspective still fits.

Maybe lori loughlin should donate money to the rowing coach that ratted her out

Michael Avenetti should hold a benefit for federal prosecutors

Maybe Obama should have volunteered to support trump after the birther fiasco

Those analogies are bad too.

Trump and Pelosi are basically coworkers. It's their job to work together.

Also, Pelosi didn't insult Trump. She just said he was involved in a cover up.

What is your word for not providing documents and instructing people to ignore congressional subpoenas?

And this ignores the NUMEROUS times that Trump has insulted both Pelosi and Schumer. They still came to the meeting prepared to get things done.

And even I were to grant the analogy does work, the narrative you're painting is one where the default position of Trump is to be lazy and do nothing and the default position of the Democrats is to try to compromise and get stuff done.

(I actually agree with that narrative, BTW)

first mistake: arguing with mets

second mistake: holding up clinton, pelosi, and schumer as good examples of how to behave

I was once told i was being let go at a job in 30 days and was then expected to train my replacement

How do you think that went?

Trump should not be lazy
But as i said make a choice

Work together for 10 months or go to war

You can't have both

I'm not trying to do the second one, though it might come off that way.

It's not a war; it's congressional oversight.

Eye we both agree Nancy is in a tough spot

So is trump. Trump looks weak if it appears he gives in to the people trying to impeach him

It's not "helping your cause". It's helping the American people.

It doesn't have to be impeachment. But I'd like to see the House leadership do SOMETHING that has some teeth.
